a few shots from around KSU
the textile dept (4 floors, each being about the size of our textile dept at cca)
crazy architecture
KSU is massive- here is just the textile dept (on the left) and the manga and printmaking depts (on the right)
behind the school are a whole bunch of caged animals (birds, rabbits, and deer mostly)
one of the many random forts in the woods behind the school
deer, they have about 8 of them in a large caged area (pictured below)
went to a few flea markets this weeks to get cloth for a project and ate takoyaki (hot balls of goodness with chewy chunks of octopus)
the girls on the way to a bowling ally for chelsey's bday
susan lookin' sharp
love the signs
squid flakes dancing on our okonomiyaki- "japanese pizza" a
relative of takoyaki but with many more types of seafood and meat inside which is kept hot on a grill built into the table
smallest rock n' roll club in one of the many apartment bars that line the pontocho district. We met a bunch of japanese guys who were in the bands The Bawdies and Harris- music videos below (my camera died after the pic below- shitty!)

I'm glad you finally tried takoyaki (and it sounds like you liked em, although 'octopus balls' just sounds hella white)....they go goooood with a beer. But what doesn't? and the top of the okonomiyaki in most likely katsuobushi, or bonito flakes, or in layman's-terms; dried, smoked, and shaved tuna. If you can find it there is also monjayaki which is another cousin to those two. Its found more in tokyo, but you may be able to come across it where you be. I love your super-totally confused sounding "I think so" at the end of the clip....
...I also think its hilarious how far ahead of us they are technology-wise, but how far behind rock-n-roll-wise....
so K, may I ask what it is with all the peace signs? You look good, looks like you are having a good time. Think you'll be around there long enough for us to go to thailand?
damn peace signs.
it started as a joke cause all the girls here do "cute" poses for their photos, which they are snapping constantly
but now i just cant stop
i think im turning japanese...
